Football: A late bloomer, starting with Leicester City

Chapter 335 Puskas Prize! Fans are arguing! (asking for monthly ticket)

"Bah...!" Immediately afterwards, all the lights at the scene turned on, the entire conference center became bright, and the eleven people in people's sight became clearer.

The opening of this FIFA awards ceremony seems to be unique.

Together with the announcement of the best lineup, they formed a good opening effect, which aroused everyone's emotions right from the beginning.

Next, the eleven players who won the best team stood in the center of the field and took a group photo.

They were all smiling at this time, looking very harmonious and admiring each other.

However, everyone understands that when you walk out of today's venue, those who are opponents will still become opponents.

After the group photo ended, Chen Yufeng left the stage first, turned and walked towards his seat.

He was sitting in the middle of the first row today. Around him, there were many outstanding male and female football players.

These are the favorites to win today's awards, and they are also the best between the two fields.

"How's the opening going?" Henry seemed to have some talent as a host and asked very calmly while standing on the stage.

After retiring, he often participated in some activities.

Facing a big scene like today, he can definitely still control the situation, just like he is on the court.

"Okay...!" Everyone in the audience cheered in unison, and then gave out applause.

"Please give me your compliments, for I planned this."

Henry made a well-timed joke, "Rough people can do small jobs."

The audience laughed again. They were definitely not in a hurry. It was also interesting to listen to Henry's talk show at this time.

But for the fans waiting to watch in the broadcast room, his move was a bit delayed.

"Hurry up, what is Henry doing? Shouldn't he just announce the World Footballer and the World Footballer?"

"Yeah, it's hard to tell the truth."

"Are the first ones to come out are the Mr. and Ms. World Footballer? So exciting? Why don't you hurry up?!"

"Yes, originally the best lineup was from the back, and the first one won two awards. This year, because of the opening, it may be placed at the back."

"Is there any suspense left? Award it to Cristiano Ronaldo!"

"Awarding to Cristiano Ronaldo is the real shady act. I want to give back everything you once said about our Chen Yufeng."

"Although there is a fine line in being a human being. After Chen Yufeng won the UEFA Best and Ballon d'Or awards, he should give up the World Footballer, but the Grand Slam is more exciting."

"I feel that the World Footballer of the Year will be given to Cristiano Ronaldo. If there is a Champions League this year, it won't be nothing, right? This is another award that depends on influence."

"Who knows, no one can avoid being sprayed anyway."

"There are various signs that this award goes to Cristiano Ronaldo."

"In a word, Henry, please hurry up!"

"..."

I don't know if Henry sensed what these fans said, or if Henry himself was a little anxious.

After making a few simple jokes, he had nothing more to say and directly brought out the big news, "Okay, I know everyone is waiting impatiently, so without further ado, let's ask Ronaldo to We announce the winners of World Footballer and Miss World Footballer."

Henry pointed his finger to the side, and Ronaldo held the host manual and looked down the court with a smile.

He is a person who doesn't like nonsense. "The athlete who won the World Footballer of the Year in 2016 is..."

As the last sentence was prolonged, many people present held their breaths, not even daring to breathe. Tension and anticipation spread across everyone's faces.

The director also turned the camera to three people at the right time, Cristiano Ronaldo, Chen Yufeng, and Griezmann.

Messi's performance last year cannot be said to be dominant, and he did not join the ranks of the three.

"It's...Cristiano Ronaldo!"

As Ronaldo called out the name, the director zoomed in on Ronaldo's camera until it swallowed up other people's screens. Everyone at the scene suddenly fell into a dead silence before being overshadowed by cheers and applause.

"Oh——!!" Mendes and others cheered excitedly. Cristiano Ronaldo's fans also applauded excitedly, and some even whistled a few times.

However, judging from Ronaldo's expression after he got up, he was still worried about the initial silence.

At this time, the director knew very well and gave the camera to Chen Yufeng. Countless fans in front of the TV broadcast camera could see a bit of lividness in Chen Yufeng's expression, as if he was suddenly embarrassed.

Obviously, Chen Yufeng did not expect that FIFA would not award this award to him.

He still stood up and applauded, but the loss and helplessness on his face could not be concealed.

Chen Yufeng is not a saint, and he definitely wants to end this dream year with a personal honor Grand Slam.

Before coming here, he originally thought that his award was a sure thing.

Even the least expected Golden Globe Award has been won. World Footballer should be a no-brainer, right?

But today’s award ceremony is really intriguing...

It's not that Chen Yufeng questioned what Ronaldo and Mendes did, or that he felt Ronaldo's performance last year was not good enough.

Ronaldo performed very well last year. It was a very dominant year. If it weren't for his outstanding performance in the European Cup and the popularity brought by many inspirational attributes, he would not be able to compete with him.

But both UEFA and the Ballon d'Or have recognized it...

In the end, he was not awarded the World Footballer of the Year. It was as if FIFA wanted to suppress him deliberately, and it also seemed that the other party had brought some 'comfort' personal attributes into it.

Chen Yufeng applauded numbly, watching Ronaldo, who was wearing a blue suit, walk up to the podium and deliver his acceptance speech.

The other person spoke Portuguese, which he couldn't understand.

However, he could still feel what Ronaldo was probably talking about from the few curled lips.

At the same time, the broadcast platforms in various countries all exploded.

"Not to Chen Yufeng?!"

"No, I really didn't give it to you?!"

"I originally thought that our guess was just the worst-case scenario, but I didn't expect that FIFA actually did this!"

"With this kind of evaluation, this award loses its fairness."

"I admit that Ronaldo performed very well last year, but from various aspects, I think Chen Yufeng is more qualified to get this."

"FIFA, what are you doing? Are you just openly going against UEFA and French football? Is it difficult to judge a Grand Slam of personal honors? What are you waiting for?"

“I don’t understand!!”

"FIFA stinks! It's shady! I fight for Chen Yufeng!"

"..."

The group of people who hope that Cristiano Ronaldo will win the award must be busy celebrating. Those who post comments here must be Chen Yufeng's supporters.

They seemed indignant and furious, and they all excitedly expressed their opinions and views on the Internet.

Their meaning is very simple. Everyone on the Internet has already mentioned several situations in which Chen Yufeng will not win the award. Is FIFA really going to follow what they say?

The first possibility is that FIFA regards historical status, past honors, and influence as the first priority in awarding awards.

The second possibility is that this is the first year that FIFA and French Football will award the award separately. When Chen Yufeng's lead is not too obvious, FIFA chooses to go against French Football and award the award to another person. This will weaken the gold content of the French Football Ballon d'Or. The third possibility is that Ronaldo is very dominant this year. After Chen Yufeng played even better and won two awards, the organizers decided to give one to Ronaldo to balance the outside discussion.

But have they really thought that if you really do it like this, it will look weird.

This is not like a vote, but like everyone sitting together to discuss and finally come up with the result.

At the scene, after Ronaldo gave his acceptance speech, he returned to his seat and sat down.

He was not far from Chen Yufeng, and he could clearly see Chen Yufeng's expression.

After watching with his peripheral vision for a while, Ronaldo breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little admiration after seeing that Chen Yufeng did not do anything radical.

Maybe this is a good opponent?

There is a dispute this year. Next year the two of us will compete hard and strive to win the opponent to the point of being convinced!

I will definitely try my best, and I hope you will too!

This is Ronaldo's inner thought at this time. He knows what Chen Yufeng may be thinking and the controversy caused by this award.

But it doesn't matter. As long as you get it, what reason is there to refuse?

If the outside world has doubts, just break it.

What he was more concerned about was Chen Yufeng's mood and thoughts.

But for now, Chen Yufeng doesn't have much reaction, and that's enough.

There is definitely basic sadness and loss.

As long as it's not hatred, everything is normal.

"Miss World Football 2016...Lloyd!" Henry's voice then sounded, and they read out Lloyd's name without giving others at the scene much chance to react.

This is also a very controversial award, bigger than the one between Cristiano Ronaldo and Chen Yufeng.

It can be said that Lloyd winning this award this year is equivalent to Griezmann just defeating Cristiano Ronaldo and Chen Yufeng and winning the World Footballer of the Year.

However, once the award comes out, it is a sure thing. The fans who should discuss it will discuss it. These people at the scene can only clap their hands to encourage and bless.

"Best Men's Football Coach of the Year, Leicester City, Ranieri!" Ronaldo pretended to be awarded this award later. Ranieri defeated Guardiola and other world-famous coaches to win this top honor in the coaching industry. !

This is a recognition of his last year and will definitely inspire him in the future!

"Mr. Ranieri, re-elected next year!"

Chen Yufeng sat in his seat and shouted to Mr. Ranieri. When he saw his respected head coach winning the award, he had a smile on his face.

"of course."

Ranieri ignored the fact that many people were watching and humorously pointed his finger at Chen Yufeng and then at his feet, "Will you still be here next year? I'm ready to come again to receive the award."

"Hahahahaha..." A burst of laughter rang out, and everyone at the scene laughed.

Next, the name of Ned, the Women’s Football Coach of the Year, was called out.

This is the coach of the German women's football team, who achieved great results last year.

The Best Fair Play Award was awarded to Colombia's Atletico Nacional. Their practice of conceding victory in the final is destined to become a legend in football.

Later, representatives of Dortmund fans and Liverpool fans took the stage to receive the FIFA Fan Award.

The award ceremony has come to the final moment. After looking around, Henry said the last award with a smile: "I believe everyone knows the shortlist of the Puskas Award."

"Subri's weird curve ball, Chen Yufeng's one-stop goal, Rooney's shocking hook, etc..."

"In the past year, there have undoubtedly been many incredible goals in football. Among them, which goal will be loved by fans and selected for this year's Puskas Award?"

After Henry said this, he didn't show off too much. With a warm smile on his face, he pointed his finger at the big screen behind him.

There, a video gradually opened and appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Next to the video is a piece of text with a vote rate of 91%...

This is a terrifying vote rate!

Ninety percent of the people voted for him!

This is - "One...two...Three...four...! Chen Yufeng passed by and Patricio also fell!!"

As this audio was played, all the Portuguese players present had a bit of embarrassment on their faces.

It's not a pleasant feeling to be publicly executed at award ceremonies from time to time.

Especially Cristiano Ronaldo, after winning the World Footballer of the Year today, he still can't help being sad...

"2016 Puskas Award winner, Chen Yufeng!"

Henry's voice sounded, and his finger pointed at Chen Yufeng. Everyone in the audience stood up, and a burst of fierce applause soon erupted, "Bah, bang, bang, bang..."

Chen Yufeng buttoned up his suit, waved to everyone, and then walked up to the podium.

Team of the Year + Puskas Award?

This is indeed a comfort to him, but he still wants more next year!

…………

The award ceremony started with a bang and ended with a bang.

Chen Yufeng walked on the red carpet outside the conference center and was chased and intercepted by dozens of reporters.

"Mr. Chen Yufeng! How do you feel about not winning the World Footballer of the Year?"

"Do you have any questions about Cristiano's award? Or any dissatisfaction?"

"Please tell us the truth! We don't want to hear false pleasantries."

"..."

Many microphones were placed in his mouth, and he was surrounded by reporters looking expectantly.

Chen Yufeng took a few steps forward, then suddenly stopped, "To be honest, I congratulate Cristiano Ronaldo for winning the award, but I don't feel comfortable in my heart. Do you understand?"

"This is a normal thing. If any of you have the habit of adding fuel to the fire, I promise I won't accept any more interviews from you next time!"

A reporter pretended to be obedient and nodded, and then asked: "You collapsed just one step away from a personal honor Grand Slam. Is this a blow to you?"

"It's a pity, not a blow. He can't stop me from moving forward."

Chen Yufeng raised his eyebrows as he walked and said, "Anyway, this is also a dreamy year. Do you have any opinions?"

"No." The reporter continued to ask in a way that he felt was very tactful: "But this may be the only time you come close to the personal honor of the annual Grand Slam..."

"The only time?"

Chen Yufeng glanced at him and said, "No, I will come back next year. Then there will be no dispute."

"If you transferred to a strong team last season, I believe you will come here next year, but stay in Leicester City..." A reporter shook his head and expressed his disapproval.

They all felt that they had been very tactful, or that they had told Chen Yufeng a fact in this way many times.

Why is Chen Yufeng still stubborn?

This is the biggest doubt in their hearts. Chen Yufeng likes to talk like this. In time, he will definitely have to pay the price for his arrogance.

"On the last side, Leicester City has the Premier League title and the Champions League to compete for, and the FA Cup is also our battlefield."

Chen Yufeng stopped and pointed at the camera, "Next year, I will come with the championship and take back everything that belongs to me."

"Goodbye, I won't be doing any more interviews."
